AVAPS contains a startup algorithm that automatically selects a higher value. Since higher pressures aren't tolerated well, the maximal pressure (max P) is usually set in a 20 to 25 cm water range. The minimum pressure (min P) is a minimum of 8 cm water and typically higher. The AVAPS settings also have additional parameters that include:. %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 262 0 obj > endobj xref 262 67 0000000016 00000 n 0000002138 00000 n 0000002350 00000 n 0000002394 00000 n 0000003546 00000 n 0000003966 00000 n 0000004437 00000 n 0000004689 00000 n 0000006180 00000 n 0000006657 00000 n 0000008532 00000 n 0000008919 00000 n 0000010428 00000 n 0000010563 00000 n 0000011136 00000 n 0000012154 00000 n 0000013162 00000 n 0000014002 00000 n.
